I am using Microsoft Access database in Hexagon Geospatials GeoMedia Professional. I am trying to read the features and inspect the geometries. I can read the features but FME does not seem to handle the geometry? FME show the geometry field with binary data, but it does not render the geometry. I have never used MS Access to read geometry data before. Any ideas of what is going wrong or how I can solve it?

I suspect that you should use the Intergraph GeoMedia Access reader, rather than the MS Access one:

Thanks, I just found it. But "Unable to use format 'Intergraph GeoMedia Access Warehouse'.

Format is not supported on this platform (WIN64)."

Installing 32 bit vertion at the moment. Hopefully it will be alright after that
